Not 1998 SIOP but during Reagan years

Just checked the Bulletin article written by Bret Lortie. In my interpretation the statement "The 1998 SIOP targeted this radar facility with 69 consecutive nuclear weapons." is not valid. Instead a caption on page 29 says: "At one point during the Reagan years, this above-ground radar ..., was targeted with 69 nuclear missiles". Accordingly, I propose to correct this sentence.

The writing below the caption says "...March 15, 1998, New York Times Magazine, one particular target was slated to be hit by 69 consecutive nuclear weapons. At the time, Blair speculated that the target might have been a deeply buried command post at Chekhov. It turned out, Blair later told the magazine, the target was the Pushkino radar facility on the outskirts of Moscow. Defying common sense, a defense contractor had somehow managed to conclude that the above-ground radar facility was resilient enough to require a 69- missile attack." The actual source of the information is the New York Times magazine, as it's a secret document, and we don't actually know what was in it. Secretlondon (talk) 22:15, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

What I wanted to say is: Reagan was president from 1981 to 1989. The SIOP in question was from Reagan years. The NYTimes article was from 1998 (Clinton years). But in Wikipedia we find the statement: "The 1998 SIOP targeted this radar ...". Which is clearly not what the bulletin says, but is probably a mix-up.
